Although the quarter was strongly influenced by the company holidays of major customers as planned, crucial financial key figures could be improved during the months July to September. Sales increased on the previous year organically by 13.8 % to k 22,154 (previous year: k 19,474). At the same time, the operating result (EBIT) rose to k 1,068 (previous year: k 169). Despite the 13.8 % sales growth, cost of material decreased by 1.6 % to k 7,458 (previous year k 7,578). Personnel cost rose when compared with the same period of last year to k 8,198 (previous year: k 6,876). This was primarily due to Müller Die lila Logistik West which was fully consolidated in the period under review as well as to Value Added Logistics in Poland which was fully consolidated in the third quarter. The consolidated net profit for the period under review totalled k 688 (previous year: loss of k 376 for this period). Course of business in the period January to September 2008 The course of business over the cumulated period from January to September 2008 was good. Despite more and more indications as well as first impacts of the general downswing of business near the end of the third quarter, Lila Logistik group increased sales in comparison with the same period of the previous year by 12.9 % to k 68,059 (previous year: k 60,276) as of the closing date 30 September. The resulting EBIT came to k 6,803. This figure also includes a positive special effect from real estate transactions amounting to k 4,571 as well as a negative special effect from the disposal of a minority shareholding amounting to k 1,030. Adjusted for these two effects, the operating result of Lila Logistik group was k 3,262 at the end of the 9-month period (previous year: k 1,339). Earnings per share improved to 60 euro cents. The balance sheet total decreased to k 46,668 ( : k 51,349). As of 30 September 2008, Lila Logistik group employed 1,074 men and women.

2 This 9-month report was compiled using the same accounting, valuation and calculation methods in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as for the financial statements for the year ended 31 December Notes to the Income Statement Scope of consolidation In contrast to the previous year, the company Müller Die lila Logistik West is fully consolidated in the period from January to September The new company Value Added Logistics (Poland) was fully consolidated in the third quarter of Apart from that, there were no other changes in the scope of consolidation of Lila Logistik group. Development of revenues and expenses The positive development of sales of the previous months continued until the end of the period under review. In comparison with the previous year, an organic sales growth of 12.9 % to k 68,059 (previous year: k 60,276) was achieved. Other operating income increased, primarily as a result of the special revenue from the real estate transactions, to k 5,857 (previous year: k 1,636). Although sales were up by approx. 7.8 million euros, cost of material decreased by approx. 1.1 million euros to k 22,416 (previous year: k 23,481). Personnel expenses amounted to k 25,534 (previous year: k 22,510). The increase by more than 3 million euros was, on the one hand, primarily the result of the full consolidation of Müller Die lila Logistik West and of Value Added Logistics, as well as, on the other hand, also due to the expansion of Müller Die lila Logistik Polska, whose Logistics Service Center activities contributed to the 9-month result of the previous year only from August on. In addition, the good order situation in the Logistics Design consulting segment also resulted in higher personnel costs. Other operating expenses rose by k 4,392 to k 17,837. As in the quarter before, this is, to a large extent, the result of the book loss from the disposal of the TKS shares amounting to k 1,030, the consolidation of Müller Die lila Logistik West as well as the expenses at consulting company Emporias Management Consulting which had risen as well. The operating result (EBIT) after three quarters totalled k 6,803 (previous year: k 1,339). The resulting EBIT margin was 10.0 % (previous year: 2.2 %). This also includes negative foreign currency effects of k 209. Adjusted for the special effect from real estate transactions during the previous quarters as well as the disposal of minority shareholdings, EBIT at the end of the 9-month period amounted to k 3,262. This represents an adjusted EBIT margin of 4.8 %. The balance of interest income and expenses was minus k 567 (previous year: minus k 508). This amount also includes expenses from the market valuation of derivative interest rate transactions with a nominal volume of k 6,163 amounting to k 33. The financial result was further improved by exchange rate differences amounting to k 886. Taxes on income amounting to minus k 2,318 (previous year: minus k 620) reduced the net profit for the period under review to k 4,748 (previous year: k 543). Taxes on income include deferred tax assets amounting to k 1,207. Earnings per share improved from 7 euro cents to 60 euro cents. The average number of shares in issue (on a diluted/undiluted basis) was 7,955,750. Development of the business segments Logistics Design The planning and consulting segment could continue the dynamic growth of the first half of the year 2008 in the third quarter as well. The sales revenues of the first nine months totalled k 4,265 and, as a result, exceeded the previous year s amount of k 2,075 by %. The operating result (EBIT) of minus k 184 shown for this period includes an extraordinary burden of k 1,030 from Segment reporting In keur Sales from Sales from Change Change EBIT EBIT Change Change in in absolute in in absolute percent terms percent terms Logistics Design 4,265 2, % + 2, % Logistics Operating 63,979 58, % + 5,606 6, % + 6,017 2

At the time of publication of this report, it is not possible to make a reliable forecast as to which extent the looming economic downswing will have impacts on the Logistics Design segment of Lila Logistik group. Logistics Operating The Logistics Operating segment continued its solid development. As part of the implementation of logistics solutions at the customers or at Lila Logistiks own Logistics Service Centers as well as by providing value adding logistics services, Lila Logistik group made k 63,979. This represents a 9.6 % growth or a growth of 5.6 million euros on the previous year. The segment s EBIT for the 9-month period amounted to k 6,987 (previous year: k 970). Of this amount, k 4,571 were due to the special effect from real estate transactions. Adjusted for this amount, the operating result was k 2,416. This is equivalent to an adjusted EBIT margin of 3.8 %. The routing segment where the transport services are pooled continued to be weak. Price increases as a result of the approved toll increase effective 1 January 2009 are unavoidable. 3

On the one hand, property, plant and equipment slightly increased to k 14,569 ( : k 12,905) also as a result of the launch of the Value Added Logistics project (Poland). On the other hand, as explained in detail in the halfyear report, property, plant and equipment of Lila Logistik group decreased as a result of the disposal of the minority shareholdings in an associated company as well as the reduction of deferred taxes. As to short-term assets, the amount of trade receivables could be reduced by k 1,911 to k 13,915 ( : k 15,826). Cash and cash equivalents of Lila Logistik group were up in comparison with 31 December 2007 and rose to k 4,438 as of 30 September 2008 ( : k 1,295). As a result of the latest fundamental changes in the credit and investment climate also in the CEE states, the sales activities in connection with the location in Gliwice in Poland were discontinued for the time being. Liabilities The reclassification of long-term loans amounting to 3 million euros to short-term liabilities resulted in a reduction of long-term liabilities to k 8,330 ( : k 11,996). Analogously, short-term liabilities increased by the same amount on the half-year closing date amounting to k 18,823; in net terms, they were k 5,641 lower than as of 31 December This was partly due to the repayment of loans in connection with the real estate transactions. In parallel with trade receivables, trade liabilities decreased and totalled k 3,892 ( : k 6,028) as of the closing date. 4
